What if two of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century sat down for a conversation at one of history’s most tense moments?
On the very day England entered World War II, writer C. S. Lewis and psychologist Sigmund Freud meet in a powerful imagined encounter that wrestles with faith, doubt, reason and mortality.
Join us in the Lin Family Performance Studio, also known as the Black Box Theater, located in the Warkentine Culture and Arts Center, for a free staged reading of Mark St. Germain’s thought-provoking short play. The dialogue brings together a young Lewis, newly converted to the Christian faith and portrayed by communication professor Daniel Nelson, and an atheist Freud, nearing the end of his life and portrayed by philosophy professor Nathan Carson.
The evening will conclude with a facilitated discussion and free refreshments. All are welcome to attend this engaging exploration of ideas, belief and the enduring questions that shape the human experience.
